The user is considering a credit-based "pay-as-you-go" model for Scout, an AI content engine.
I’ve always had a "content hoarding" problem. I’d find gold while browsing, copy the link into an online notepad, and... never look at it again. **The result?** A graveyard of dead links and lost interest. I decided to build a tool (currently calling it **Scout**) to solve my own frustration. It’s a Chrome extension that **injects a "Save to Scout" button directly into LinkedIn posts and YouTube videos.** **The Workflow:** 1. **Capture:** Click the injected button on any post or video. It syncs instantly to the extension. 2. **Generate:** Inside the extension, it uses the source context to generate LinkedIn posts, Twitter threads, or summaries based on my specific likings. 3. **Refine:** It’s not just a "copy-paste" AI; it uses the actual transcript/post text to keep the "soul" of the content while I focus on the hook. I shared it with a few creator friends and they’re already using it to speed up their daily posting. Now, I’m thinking about **monetization** and need your expert advice: * **Pricing Model:** Since AI tokens cost money, should I do a flat monthly fee ($15/mo) or a credit-based "pay-as-you-go" model? * **Native vs. Web:** Do you think people prefer the extension-only experience, or should I build a full web dashboard as a "Pro" feature? Would love to hear how you’d price a "workflow" tool like this! *(Note: Couldn't do a screen recording for privacy reasons, sorry for attaching so many images!)*
